Does Kona include valve stems and rim tape to convert to tubeless with the '13 Honzo? Just ordered mine and want to set it up tubeless. I would like to know before I get the bike so I can order the parts if I need to

I'd say it's pretty darn unlikely. An aftermarket tubeless wheel I bought came with the strips, but the same wheel OEM didn't. They try to cut corners anywhere they can, hence "tubeless ready"

Yeah, that's what I figured. Im used to running tubeless with 28 psi on my Nomad so I def want to ditch the tubes before my first ride on the Honzo, I'm gonna need that inch of tire suspension in the back, lol!

Btw... Thought I'd have the bike by now but an inventory mistake now delays it another week. Crap!!! Oh well, at least my KS950 dropper post will be here waiting. Pretty sure I'd hate any bike without one now that I'm spoiled.

A few minor changes that happened mid-season (Saint M810 SS derailleur, Saint BB, and ESI Chunky grips) and the last pictures for this year before I tear it all apart for maintenance and warranty on the Fox 34 (creaking CSU) and Reverb (drops in travel).

No changes planned for next year other than tidying up the cables up front a bit, wouldn't change a thing really.

I checked out your flickr riding pics. Sweet riding in your neck of the woods. The Honzo will fit right in.

Right on Carabao. I rode a yelli screamy for most of 2010 so I know I'm gonna love the Honzo!

Just picked up the frame from the local PC shop. Color is a little darker / browner than this picture shows. Dropped 'em a holiday 6-pack
I think I have everything to build 'er up over the holidays, I'll post pics when shes done!

Thanks to Eurospec and Playdead for the build help.

No worries! Now you just gotta drive north a couple of hours to Bellingham so we can ride. Seriously

I guess the Honzo is becoming pretty popular since Kona has run out of Large 2013's. I've been waiting over a month to get mine! We've been having a mild winter in NJ so far, I just hope it lasts so I can get a few rides in!
